Because /home/username/ includes dot files.
Like, .bashrc, etc.
To see them do la -la
To delete directory which is full, just use
rm -R dirname

There are files that start with a . in the directory. These are often
used for configuration stuff. ls -lA will show you them, or just you rm
-rf to kill the whole directory and everything in it.

I deleted a user and I forgot to use use -r to remove it's home folder.
I erase all files in that directory with rm *. After that I used ls -l.
It report zero files. Then I tried to delete the folder with rmdir but
it reply that it is not empty why?
